I find it strange that . It is illegal in at least 10 states and a few Countries including British Columbia to hunt capture or kill a Sasquatch . ... You'd be killing something that is endangered. So someone sat down put together a legal document and presented governing heads of state passed a actual law. So just in case it is out there "no physical evidence that we common people know about" They voted "yes" These laws include big money fines and jail time which law enforcement agencies have to take serious. Why would they even take this remotely seriously unless they know something that we don't.

just in case you think this is a simple task

How a Bill Progresses Through the Process

  1. A bill is written, introduced and assigned a bill number in one chamber (either the House or the Senate). Each bill must have at least a "sponsor," which is a legislator who wants to try to push the bill through the process. Most bills also have several co-sponsors, which are other legislators who also want to see the legislation given a chance in the system.
  2. The bill is assigned to several committees in the chamber (usually two to three committees).
  3. The bill is "heard" in each committee, sometimes with "expert witnesses" testifying for and against the bill. The public is encouraged to give their opinions at this stage by attending hearings and speaking about the bill. After hearing public testimony, legislators will discuss the bill in the committee, and then vote to give it a "Do Pass", "Do Not Pass", "No Recommendation" or "Table" recommendation. A bill can only proceed to the next committee to which it was assigned if it is given a "Do Pass" or "No Recommendation". If it is given a "Do Not Pass" in its first committee, it is "dead".
  4. If a bill proceeds through all its assigned committees, it goes to the full floor (all the members) of the chamber, to be heard and discussed among all the members of that chamber. Public testimony is not allowed at this point, although experts will sometimes be invited to be guests on the floor to answer questions on complicated bills. If the bill is voted down on the floor, it can go no further. If it is approved by a majority vote on the full floor, it proceeds onto the next chamber.
  5. Once at the next chamber, it goes through the same process: consideration by several committees and a final floor vote.
  6. If the bill makes it through all the committees and the floor votes of both chambers, it goes to the Governor for signature. The Governor may veto or sign the bill. If the Governor signs the bill, it becomes state law.
